Sentido Heritance Negombo
Relaxation by the sand
Drink in the ocean views and cooling breezes at this contemporary beachfront property in the heart of Negombo, just 40 minutes from the airport. With 6.5 acres of landscaped grounds featuring a super-sized freeform pool fringed by palm trees as the focal point, it’s an ideal spot to relax at the beginning or end of your Sri Lankan travels. Make time to unwind with a nature-based treatment in the inviting spa, graze on global dishes from pizza to fusion tapas, and watch the sun dip into the sea at the stylish top-floor lounge bar. Bustling Negombo itself is popular with couples, friends and families, and this elegantly decorated hotel is equally welcoming to all.
This modern hotel, with beautifully landscaped grounds beside a broad golden beach, is an inviting spot to start or end your holiday.

Why our experts like it
What the people who book this hotel say about staying there.

If you love French cuisine, look no further than La Belle Vie

An incredible way to kick off your Maldives holiday
“There's something pretty special about travelling by seaplane. The view from the sky is extraordinary - tiny specs of island and shades of blue that barely look real.”


The iconic, mile-long sandbank
Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.

Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world
“If snorkelling and diving isn't for you, it's possible to catch a glimpse of the reef from a glass-bottomed boat instead.”


Kids club at Niva Kuramathi Maldives

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
